Shadow Shot Sunday!

Hey, shadow searchers! Our day has rolled around again to share our shadow catches for the week! Shadow Shot is generously hosted by Harriet of Hey Harriet! Click on her name, sign up and have the most fun ever!



We're having lots of sun and unusually warm temps -- which is great after the long cold winter, but it does take some adjusting! The good thing is that it isn't hard to find shadows!

This is Mojo -- from an earlier camping trip. She's already anticipating our trip to Whidbey Island this weekend!



Wire on a back gate.



And leaf shadows everywhere! Oh, yes! It is summer even though it's getting a little brown around the edges!





And my friends, James and Chiaki on the ferry to the Lavender Festival in Sequim! And what a marvelous day that was!!



Last but not least a lavender shadow! It was so beautiful!

That's one happy-looking dog. Great set of shadow shots, and I espcially like the pattern and textures in the wire shot.

Mojo makes such a good model! It almost looks like he is in a painting. Looks like you've had lots of sunny days to enjoy. We can smell the lavender from here!

All great shots. I like lavender so much. Once it grew for me..notice, I said "once". Our girls made lavender wands with ribbons to tuck away. What a fun project.
Happy SSS.

Great collection of shadows, but I think my favourite is Mojo + shadow. The shadow seems to be so much a part of his character!

Lavender shadows
perfume the air with darkness
and essence of light.

Martha Z said...

Nice shadows, cooling in that excessive heat you have been having.

I love that you can see Mojo head-on and not know how big of a snout he has ... but then the shadow tells you! Nice!

Chubby Chieque said...

Oh! love the lavendel plot. Such a lovely shot of them as well as your shots for this SS.

Hope you had a wonderful time in the festival.

The ferry shot is very fun...how I wish I was on the ferry right now!

Kranky Granny said...

Lovely shadows and I can almost smell the lavender.

They are starting to plan it in the median boxes on the divided roads here. Just love the texture and smell.

Thanks for the lovely comment my way. I do so love having visitors.
